Hi Jason,
Here is what I did to connect:
1) start a client session on server host machine and issue a grant command.
/usr/local/mysql$ bin/mysql -u root
run a client session as the root, directory your executable resides
might be different than what's shown
mysql> use mysql ;
mysql> grant all on mydatabase.* to root ;
replace mydatabase with yours
2) start a client session from a remote host.
/usr/local/mysql$ bin/mysql -u root --host=192.168.2.3
run a client session as the root, directory your executable resides
might be different than what's shown, also replace the IP address with that of your MySQL
server host machine.
Good luck !
